The Psychology PhD episodes

  • Introduction to the Psychology PhD | Season 1, Episode 1

    Welcome to the very first episode of The Psychology PhD! As grad students in the Columbia University psychology department, we hope to provide you with some insight into graduate studies in psychology, from applying to programs to learning about day-to-day life as a PhD student. Season 1 focuses on the application process, and this first episode covers three main topics. First, what is a PhD in psychology? Second, what differentiates a psych PhD from other graduate degrees in psychology? And third, what does a day in the life of a PhD student look like?

About The Psychology PhD

From the publisher's feed

As current PhD students, we created this podcast because we know that applying to graduate programs in psychology can be bewildering. We remember asking ourselves questions like: Is a graduate degree in psychology right for me? If so, what kind of program should I choose? How do I develop competitive application materials? And is there anyone else like me in these programs? If you‘re wondering about the same things, you‘ve landed in the right place! We‘re glad you‘re here.
